Wof fail

[phiretrojan]

Moring all,

Just got my WOF Checked which it failed, cause i need to check my front wheel bearing and front forks need oil etc etc so that's easy

but i know this is not a biggie to fix... i just wanted to Rant about it When was it a Requirement to have a Number plate light?? i just noticed on my WOF it said Number Plate light not fitted and failed it ..........

i told him. i had my bike for 3 yrs and they didn't worry about that..... so he just quoted its just who you get..... i think i got a bad apple...... he failed my front tyre due to a small thumbnail wear on the side of the tyre apart was that.. the tyre still looks brand new and still good to go for at least 3 months!!!! - i was so fuked off when he told me, ..

i guess at less i have more than 28 days to get it fit due to Xmas =) =) but WTF tho this guy was a dick!

Think you will find that it has been a requirement for a number plate light for many years. In fact, so many that i can't remember a time when it wasn't.

Yeah number plate light has always been a requirement,as it makes your plate more visible.

[Jantar]

Although I don't remember it, I believe that requirement came into force in 1951.

[MSTRS]

Wheel bearing...fail.
Forks LEAKING oil...fail. No oil is not necessarily a fail, but it should be.
No number plate light...fail.

Tyre. Would have to see it, but 'looks brand new, good for at least 3 months' ??? WTF?

[nodrog]

i guess at less i have more than 28 days to get it fit due to Xmas =) =) but WTF tho this guy was a dick!

Yeah, and they also give you more time if its your birthday :facepalm:

[admenk]

I do detect a distinct lack of sympathy for you on this thread:innocent:

[Mully]

Yeah, and they also give you more time if its your birthday :facepalm:

Fanny.

No they don't. Wait, I see what you did there.

It's just a pain these WOF testers like to be annoying. Why can't they get a job where they contribute to safety?

(btw, the local testing station round my way has a sign along the lines of "We know it's frustrating when your car fails its WOF, but please don't take it out on the counter staff")

[yachtie10]

Moring all,

i guess at less i have more than 28 days to get it fit due to Xmas =) =) but WTF tho this guy was a dick!

Just to be clear you have 28 days to have it retested or pay another fee
You dont have 28 days to not fix the issues and keep riding

That being said I need to go warrant the car and I hope I dont get a pedantic bastard

[Katman]

but WTF tho this guy was a dick!

I'm sure he was thinking the same thing.

[DEATH_INC.]

No number plate light...fail.

Tyre. Would have to see it, but 'looks brand new, good for at least 3 months' ??? WTF?

Correct. Post up a pic of this 'thumbnail' wear if you want another opinion.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

[neels]

Seems reasonable to me to fail a bike because of wheel bearings, forks, and a damaged tyre, I'd rather not share the road with a bike that's about to fall to bits. Number plate light is required by law http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/roadcode/motorcycle-road-code/about-your-vehicle/motorcycle-requirements.html although I don't think anybody ever checks if it actually illuminates your number plate.

I hope he checked if you've got a rear reflector as well....

Tyre. Would have to see it, but 'looks brand new, good for at least 3 months' ??? WTF?That sums it up.

The only fail here is riding a bike with all of those faults.

You can get yourself a trailer number plate light from pretty much any auto parts store. Wire the two wires from it to your taillight (not your brake light!) and you're done. They're ugly, but cheap and easy to fit/remove.

Other options include bolts with LEDs built into them. A little more pricey, but a more final solution.

[MSTRS]

Just what sort of tail light cover does your bike have? The oem part would have a built-in clear portion on the underside.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/cyanide2001/151aa6b6.jpg <-- small thread patchs that cause it to fail, i might be wrong but looking at the photos the tyre still good to go, i wasnt planning to replace the tyre till end next month due to xmas (broke)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/cyanide2001/0fbd6001.jpg

there alot alot alot of thread! and it gets more epic here cause my WOF swas checked last year from the same guy and he passed me got my WOF too and this was my backtyre i took the photo after i got my WOF and still have it cause it was a crackup i could of done something about it.......http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/cyanide2001/622c0c55.jpg cause there was no thread in the middle of the tyre the photo hard to see.... but he had a note "back tyre needs replacing now" and it passed! ill scan a copy of it and upload it here, if u need to see it ....

its just why waste something still good aye!

[imdying]

It's a 1989 model. Just how did it pass wofs for the last 21 years without being picked up? That's if there's no downward facing clear bit...Basically... yeah! How indeed?! On the one hand, we have people whinge that paying for a WOF is a joke because they don't check everything perfectly, and on the other, people that bitch when they get failed on basic items like this. I for one never want to be a WOF inspector.

From what I recall there isn't a clear portion there; the owner was lamenting Honda's trick of using weird clips and plastic pieces molded into the fairing to retain the taillight... apparently after 21 years it's all a bit brittle.

It's no biggy OP, just fit a light and you're off. If you're desperate for a warrant, steal a push bike front light from your mum and tape if above the plate.

im just going to get everything replace apart from the tyre i'll just book it at a motorcycle store and pay for it....... this thread was just based on a tyre that shouldnt be replaced, i just quoted on the other stuff which i know needs replace, i just asked about the white light as i guess this was a shock after so many years and didnt even get asked about it, at the end of the day they are the ones that pass's you, i'll just never go in early in the morning to get it checked again, i'll just go before they close =) =) =):innocent::innocent::innocent:

Wheel bearing fail ... potential accident ... (collapse or loss of steering )

Front Forks oil ... potential accident ... (tank slapper - been there done that)

He's a potential accident just waiting to fall off ... and possibly take one of us out, pedestrians - your kids, your wife ... etc etc .. at the same time ..

Sheesh, what's the point in having WOF checks if I'm expected to take responsibility for my vehicles being safe?

Speaking to a guy that performs WOF inspections he advised that they have to make a judgement call and if they don't believe a component will last until the next WOF they are meant to fail it. Not sure how true this is, but if this is the case then it appears to an appropriate decision.

Why not try using some of the tread on the edges, tyre may last longer that way.

One of the questions on my WOF certification test was 'If a tyre measures 1.6 mm of tread do you a) pass it, b) fail it, or c) pass it but tell the customer that it probably won't pass next time.

I chose c - and got it wrong.

Apparently it's not my place to be making such a judgement call.

[Swoop]

Just to be clear you have 28 days to have it retested or pay another fee
You dont have 28 days to not fix the issues and keep riding
I believe that once a WoF has been failed, a person can only operate the vehicle to-from a place of repair or to the testing station.

Unlike in Germany, where if you fail a WoF you have to get a towtruck to take your car away from the testing station.

[phiretrojan]

If you can't afford it then don't ride it.

I quote read carefully, i just got my WOF checked today going work, i didn't say i was going to ride it ................ i can just use the car..... >< all i quoted was to see when the light at the rearplate was a requirement (cause i wasn't ping for this at all), and if my tyre was ok which i though was ok, as my rear tyre i had was really threaded and they pass if and told me to get a replace asap which i did....... i was just shocked on what they said, and a bit pissed off i'm sure you would feel the same at 7am in the morning?...

as my last post i have booked it in to get serviced . $600 to 700 all up to get it fix. i'll just take the car or closest transport, i wasn't complaint that i was going to still ride...i don't know where people get their facts from that i was still going to ride???? i may moan and bitch about it i know at the end of the day they are the ones to pass or fail..

[phiretrojan]

You've got a fucken thick skin for a KB newbie, I must say.

now tell that to all the dodgy cars, boyracers, Buses ... people who dont look out on the road, people taking drugs and drive, people drink and driving... the worse i hate. i see all the time, people using cellphones driving........ next few days i am catching the bus, i didnt at all claim i was going to ride it still 28 days was for to get $$$$ ,

Wheel bearing...fail.
Forks LEAKING oil...fail. No oil is not necessarily a fail, but it should be.
No number plate light...fail.

Tyre. Would have to see it, but 'looks brand new, good for at least 3 months' ??? WTF?

ok sorry for the lack of infomation of the bearing, its just needs to be re grease... thats all on my WOF worksheet i got.... that should change things now!

so to rephase it,

Change Front Tyre ..... this tyre per photos, is still good, for at least 1 month
wheel bearings needs to be re grease a bit rough
Front forks needs to be oiled and checked for leaks feel abit rough
lighting at the rear plate

thats all i need to get done to pass WOF..... i should of quoted this at the start

[White trash]

Dude I reckon your front tyre is down to the wear indicators. Which unfortunately means it's worn out.

[Mully]

The wheel bearing is "rough" so you have to grease it?

Good God.

For $600-$700 make sure your mechanic is REPLACING the wheel bearings, not just greasing them.

[phiretrojan]

Dude I reckon your front tyre is down to the wear indicators. Which unfortunately means it's worn out.

Yip, its all good getting speed demon on it, sweet thanks for the clear up, i had a good look at it myself, reason i think it was still good to go, i was used to my rear tyre pretty much being slicks, and i still got a WOF, i don't know what the guy was on... but hey, its all good

[Max Preload]

If the bearing is actually rough, greasing it won't help, especially since it's probably sealed one.

sorry $24.90 each i need 2 (which is inclued in the price) cause i told them, might as well just replace it.... as i'll be selling my bike soon(increase value) might as well just get everything done to make it less worries for the next person....

[phiretrojan]

Yeah, the Service agents said something about they are sealed, i wasn't to sure, i just said replace whatever u need to replace to make it pass WOF what is quoted on the WOF Sheet...

$25 each for wheel bearings??? FFS. I would be grumpy at half the price. Its a frikken bearing not a lump of gold!

that front tyre doesnt look that bad to me in the photos.. but photos can lie.

fork seals will be the expensive bit. I recently took the forks out of my bike and handed it to the shop all ready to pull apart and it was still $280 to replace $11 seals!

this is the pricing when i sent the email in the morning i didn't get anything back till late afternoon, after i saw the repairman about it at lunch

Pirelli sport demon 100/80-17 $159.00 not including fitting (fitting is $50)

Front wheel bearings $24.90 each, requiring 2

Front forks, this will be priced on the hourly rate @ $108.00 per hour, not sure how long it would take as it depends on what they find if they find anything that is, I.e., fork seals may need replacing.

Just what sort of tail light cover does your bike have? The oem part would have a built-in clear portion on the underside.Had another look cause that seems cheap and logical, and sure enough, the undertray is neatly cut away to expose the two brake light bulbs. Turn that sucker on and get on your hands and knees; unless it has been modified you should be able to see the two tail light bulbs easily through a piece of clear plastic right where you'd expect :woohoo:

[Max Preload]

humm, me thinks i should talk to some other places.....$25 ea. for deep groove ball bearings? $108/hr? $50 tyre fitting?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/cyanide2001/151aa6b6.jpg <-- small thread patchs that cause it to fail, i might be wrong but looking at the photos the tyre still good to go, i wasnt planning to replace the tyre till end next month due to xmas (broke)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/cyanide2001/0fbd6001.jpg

Moaning broken arsed loser.


Speaking to a guy that performs WOF inspections he advised that they have to make a judgement call and if they don't believe a component will last until the next WOF they are meant to fail it. Not sure how true this is, but if this is the case then it appears to an appropriate decision.

Why not try using some of the tread on the edges, tyre may last longer that way. Yo mean thread ?


I could send you pictures that would have you changing (what's left of) your mind... Grin and waits !


You've got a fucken thick skin for a KB newbie, I must say. Skin ?


lol, thank you, its all a game to me, i don't personally care about what people say, personally i'm a rough diamond .... i speak my mind when and where ever to whoever .. online or real, bitch and moan whatever and whereever, cause i have nothing to hide....
Out then ?

*edit* True i do understand what you are saying, i didn't know all that failed, reason why people go to WOF, i guess i was shocked to see how much failed, etc etc..

i understand what you mean by
He's a potential accident just waiting to fall off ... and possibly take one of us out, pedestrians - your kids, your wife ... etc etc .. at the same time ..

now tell that to all the dodgy cars, boyracers, Buses ... people who dont look out on the road, people taking drugs and drive, people drink and driving... the worse i hate. i see all the time, people using cellphones driving........ next few days i am catching the bus, i didnt at all claim i was going to ride it still 28 days was for to get $$$$ , Yo a good nigga !


sorry $24.90 each i need 2 (which is inclued in the price) cause i told them, might as well just replace it.... as i'll be selling my bike soon(increase value) might as well just get everything done to make it less worries for the next person.... Trading up to ???


You should lube the chain too, probably add another $0.50 to the sale price! :facepalm: So the 600 hundy i just spent on....where did that go ? but hey must equal a good k on the resale ya recon

Not trading up to giving it up, going to stick to my car now




Two for 60 in wellies <-- is that two for 600 tyres installed? ..... it would be 2 for $50, if that's the case (includes balancing) but few weeks ago i needed a new back tyre due to the thread... well it was just slicks..

If the tyre is worn down to the wear indicators it is a fail.
If the tyre has no wear indicators then the old ruling of less than a minimum of 1.5 mm tread across ¾ of the tyre is a fail.
If the shock absorbers are leaking it is a fail.
If the shocks do not work how they are intended to (no oil = bouncy bouncy) it is a fail.
The registration plate must have a white reflected light and must be visible at 20 meters at night.

I have my AVI cert, and I’m twiddling my thumbs till it expires so I no longer have to deal with people who whinge and bitch because they haven’t figured out that things wear out when you use them.
Look at it this way, you get your sticker after crying that your tyre is still good for the trip home, you wipe out on gravel and go under a bus and the poor prick who couldn’t be arsed arguing with you goes to jail.
Sound like a good deal?

Put your fucking hand in your pocket.
I’m so glad your selling your bike, don’t rush out and get another one.

(I have my AVI cert, and I’m twiddling my thumbs till it expires so I no longer have to deal with people who whinge and bitch)
no matter where you are or what you do, there is always people like that, i was in retail for a telcommuncation store i was thinking that say, people woh whinge and bitch about the cellphones, i was sick of fixing it........ just like you, it happens to everyone.. i'm sure someone in your life you whinge and bitched about something, BS if you didn't get over it

Put your fucking hand in your pocket.
I’m so glad your selling your bike, don’t rush out and get another one.

O.K Hotshot! don't know why you just wasted your time typing that, cause if you noticed in the last posts, i quoting i was taking the car, i have no idea why on earth you did that...... i know what would happen if it happen, but how can it happen when i'm in a car? understand, this post was to know when was it a requirment for the white light, i brought 2 bikes frm trademe, FXR150 had for 2yrs, no white light, CBR (about 3yrs no white light,) then i get pinged it was a shock that's all,

my forks still bounce as i went to move it and slipped abit going forward and grab the front breaks to hold me kind of stressed tested it when i was falling foward (getting the car out last night, washing it) in fact i'll videcamcorder it to show tyre as well, to show you how much Theard there is.. i'm pretty sure once you saw it you would do the same $159 is a bit of money

the tyre was to see if it was ok, cause me and 6 other people said the same thing it looks brand new apart from those little patchs which are worn - its not biggie to replacing it was just a quote to see if i can still use it which i though it would... if you looked at the photos......

at the end of the day which in my last posts, i quoted "its getting fixed, and i'm not riding it" - only time i'll be riding it is to get it fix.


so please i know you wanted to put in your 2 cents worth, this was sorted all yesterday no point continuing it..........

thanks for the quote on not rushing up to get another bike (they are fighting words, big man i'm scared .i'm just not going to waste my time with people like you,)

(I have my AVI cert, and I’m twiddling my thumbs till it expires so I no longer have to deal with people who whinge and bitch because they haven’t figured out that things wear out when you use them.)

No matter where you go, you get them ... on here, yes that me, at retail stores... in warehouses, nightclubs, etc etc
i was the same when i was in retail fixing computers, cellphones, tv, i just got sick of people not knowing what was wrong, bitching and moaning there cellphone are not waterdamaged in fact they were.... some people like me can fix cellphones computers etc easy without no problems, some people are good at fixing motorcycles and cars, like right now if i typed something up which i do in my dayjob, you would'nt have a fking clue what i was doing, if fact this is what i'm trying to sort out at work ......my question to you, (100% you won't know) I want to install a python package from source on android. Is this possible? I tried in the console to run the py install files, but distutils (.core, ccompiler) isn't being found. Is it possible to still install them

they why that have experts in differnet fields yours is AVI I Get sick of people moaning about Code, i cant do it or understand aswell its life, people get over it

if you cant understand what i was trying to say, please don't bother replying

thank you, have a nice day....... tis a good day today

The wording was changed recently to 'a minimum of 1.5mm in any principal tread groove'.

[phiretrojan]

The wording was changed recently to 'a minimum of 1.5mm in any principal tread groove'.


humm i just looked up http://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicle/choosing/basics.html#tyres it quotes

Good tyre tread is essential for road grip especially in wet weather. Legally, treads must be at least 1.5mm deep across three quarters of the tread pattern around the entire tyre. However, if you have tread depth indicators in the principal grooves then you must have at least 1.5mm tread depth in these areas. - my tyre doesn't have indictors

reading that my tyre should pass,

[Katman]

reading that my tyre should pass,

Quoted directly from my VIRM......

Reason for rejection.
11. A tyre doesn not have a tread pattern depth of at least 1.5mm (excluding and tie-bar or tread depth indicator strip) around the whole circumference of the tyre:
a)within all the principal grooves that normally contain moulded tread depth indicators, or
b) if the tyre does not normally have moulded tread depth indicators (such as some retreaded or vintage tyres), across at least three-quarters of the tread width.

I'd be highly surprised if your tyres didn't have tread depth indicators.

You're the second person who has "corrected" me on that.
No, I meant TREAD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tread) as in the tread on a tyre - which of course was what we were discussing.


WTF

[The Stranger]

lol, i don't even know what they look like... what does it look like, well anyways, i'm getting a new tyre as stated ..

Just a little blob of rubber (about the size of a thumb nail co-incidentally) within a tread groove at various locations around the tyre. When wear gets to the blob it's time to replace the tyre.

ok thanks for that, and looking at my tyre 100% i don't have that i have looked all over the tyre, the front tyre is a dunlop gt501 arrowmax ** gimme a few ticks i took a video of my tyre yesterday just trying to upload it ...**

video uploaded. the video is where they failed it cause of the patch mark,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTC7ZXCa150

i may be wrong, but hey, just to show

[Madness]

ok thanks for that, and looking at my tyre 100% i don't have that i have looked all over the tyre, blah blah blah

One of the pictures you uploaded on page 2 shows what looks like a wear indicator (raised bit in the groove of the tread) that is sitting flush with the surface of the tyre - indicating that it's fucked.

The same thing can clearly be seen at 00:24 of your video.

Have a look at the edge of the tyre, where the sidewall meets the tread, near these "bumps". There will likely be TWI, or something similar stamped into the rubber.

I could be wrong, just saying. :yes:

[Katman]

I could be wrong, just saying. :yes:

No, you're quite right.

[phiretrojan]

Ok, choice, they must of made it harder on tyres now, - its all good then, cause if i went to Porirua they wouldnt see that as a biggie, but at a different store they would, (confused look) - o well i have a new tyre anyways... no point to continue on,

thank you for the photo!

[neels]

Now I get it, the thumbnail sized bits that are worn are the tread depth indicators.

So the tyre is good except for the bits where it has worn down to the bits that are there to tell you your tyre is fucked.

Or in other words it's fucked.

As both those bikes have the number plate light as standard (They use the tail light bulb with a white opening at the bottom), I would be interested in what modifications they had done to change this.

[BuzzardNZ]

I need to get a WOF tomorrow but suspect I'll fail due to my 2 brothers pipes being too loud. My plan, take it to a mechanic I know who mainly works on harleys, that way, I'm sure my bike is quieter than them and hopefully it'll pass.

Not sure how true this story is, but I heard a dealership in Wgtn sold and fitted some after market cans and when it came time for the dude to get a new WOF, they failed him on too much noise :angry:

[White trash]

Not sure how true this story is, but I heard a dealership in Wgtn sold and fitted some after market cans and when it came time for the dude to get a new WOF, they failed him on too much noise :angry:

How's this for a scenario.

Dude walks into dealership, "I want me some cans for my TL/SV/GSXR/R1 Blade. Noisy ones please" Guy behind the counter says "Well yeah, we can get these ones but you might need extra baffleing ro swap them back when it comes to WOF time" Guy sez "I can handle that, I'll have 'em."

Dude sells his bike some time later, neglecting to inform the buyer of much except where he'd had the pipes fitted. New owner takes it there for a WOF and "SOrry mate, you've failed. Pipes are too fucken noisey"

Hmmmmm.......

Me and you both, the mod was like this when i got the Bike in the original form, and i remember when replacing the fairing with repsol's i didn't get any lighting part from the break lights...

i can always just do a cheap job, get two white lights. mount it just upbove my number plate, link the wires to the battery with an on and off switch, so if i don't ride at night, i just kept it off, i wondering if they pass it like that?

couldn't you just get a silencer, mine came with one, just screw it in... pass WOF ... screw it off... mine pass's without it on tho

[BuzzardNZ]

yay, passed my WOF even with my 2 bros cans on :D

It's just a pain these WOF testers like to be annoying. Why can't they get a job where they contribute to safety?


And allowing vehicles that fail the wof on the road would contribute towards a safer enviroment ??

Mined did too! =P took it into another VTNZ (just to see what they say, cause i think i pissed off the other guy when i originally got it checked, by cracking a joke.. they looked at it, i just said .. "look, i went into another VTNZ place as you see in my record, i think they are abit hard, my bike getting serviced next week the earliest possible wife needs the car, can you just double check what is on my records i need to get fixed and see if its that bad and i need to get it fixed before i get my WOF

the guy who checked it, took a ride on it, came back after 30min, and said, i don't know why the other store failed it.... you do need the white light no biggie as long you can get it done asap, your bearing are a little rough but that not going to cause any major problems, its still rideable ....(just don't overdo it) your forks seem fine, and it does have bit of oil, no reason to fail it cause i did a few emergency stops, your breaks need oiling tho.... (which i did last night) apart from that.. your front tyre needs replacing but its only minor, just don't spend more than 3 weeks on it.....

and then a Big Pass!, (i knew i was right!, fucking hate it when people don't listen when in fact you know you are right! tough world out there, can't even crack a joke to Inlighten the day)

Kill the whole thread, its getting out of hand..


Case Close

[Mully]

the guy who checked it, took a ride on it, came back after 30min, and said, i don't know why the other store failed it.... you do need the white light no biggie as long you can get it done asap, your bearing are a little rough but that not going to cause any major problems, its still rideable ....(just don't overdo it) your forks seem fine, and it does have bit of oil, no reason to fail it cause i did a few emergency stops, your breaks need oiling tho.... (which i did last night) apart from that.. your front tyre needs replacing but its only minor, just don't spend more than 3 weeks on it.....


Wait, what??

"Don't overdo" it on bearings that are "a little rough"??
"Your brakes (brakes, I presume) need oiling??
"Front tyre needs replacing but it's only minor"

Fucking hell. You're going to be a statistic.

"Don't know why the other guy failed it" - perhaps he's worried about your safety

I used to think Motorcycling should be available to everyone.

Now I'm not so sure.

Yip, yip, don't care

[jonbuoy]

Wow what a scorching - lucky Kiwis don´t speak to each other like this in real life, NZ would be a god awful place to be. I thought the KB "Mentors" were supposed to step in on threads like this and give the lad some useful advice and keep the hyenas off his back, you do all remember what's it like to be that age, when being skint was having no money for petrol or beer.

[Katman]

Sorry, you're right. What was I thinking?







Get that piece of shit fixed properly or keep it off the fucking road!

"not sure".... uh... I think I can do better than that. There is a pile of muppets that should never be left in charge of anything combining wheels and a motor in a single vehicle.

[psycho22]

Sorry, you're right. What was I thinking?

Katman, givin' 'em the truth the hard way since aaaages ago.:rockon:

Steve I have to say your advice never fails to amuse me.

[BuzzardNZ]

would an ethical ( if they exist ) dealership do the following:

1) Fail your bike due to too loud after market pipes.
2) you take your bike to them with stock pipes and say, put the original ones back on do the WOF and then put the after market ones back on ( for a fee of course )

I'm wondering if they'd actually do that? I'm sure most would. I was considering having to do this as I can't be arsed doing the pipe removal myself. Luckily I found a hog only mechanic that didn't seem to give a shit about the noise.

[phiretrojan]

Sorry, you're right. What was I thinking?

Oh hi phiretrojan i hear your bike having problems whats wrong with it, ...

oh hi there, yea needs a new tire wheel bearings etc,

oh ok, i can over come and help fix it for a small cost, i can get parts cheap, and i'll show you how to fix it too, seem you don't know much about bike repairing

Choice that would be awesome,


man thats all it takes. but i get 100% bitching and pms, so much for the quote "motorcycle family" anyways i downloaded a manual i didn't take it back to another VTNZ that was bullshit, cause i knew you's would bitch and moan like little girls over Justin Bieber about it "yes it was mean, but funny to see what you say" i know 100% if that fail its for a good reason, so i fixed it myself after reading the cbr 250 service repair manual, parts from ebay....

Sold the bike to a mate for 4.5k based in nelson he's in wgtn going to pick it up tis weekend 4.5k and turn it into a racebike,

so i did say i was going to stop riding, but i'm thinking start from scratch a brand new bike!, question is what

so to get you thinking how much i ride ... i had the bke for 3years, at 28k, i am just hitting about 36k/38k now, .... i ride.... shit all!
so due to the fact my bike might fall apart "if i didnt fix it" is 25% or less . cause i'm lucky to ride 2 times per week.. but you took it in a fact where you think i ride everyday..... you need to stop and think possible questions, before you speak your mind, like the quote says " Think Twice Before You Speak Once" before insulting or offending someone =) sorry its straight to the point but in reality its 100% true on this forum...

Thank you jonbuoy for trying to help out, but 100% they are not going to listen, as typical people they would debate it...... so just save your keystrokes, thanks for trying, but i can challege these pack of pagbago na zombies, trying to eat through my flesh, thinking "Mmm" Fresh Meat, but this fresh meat doesn't back off, i have my shotgun loaded "virtual" and my c4 ready "virtual" as Bruce Willis would say "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" =) lol lol lol,

if you take the last part serious, man i don't know! - yes i may be poor, yes i may be young, to the fact you were once, you grow and learn by your mistakes, and that's what i am doing, my mistake was signing up here and asking for advice where in fact i'll get people QQ over my problems......

yes it does sound like i'm not in a happy mood, i did wakeup on the wrong side of the bed, it does sound like i'm having PMS whatever you want to say..... well guess what, i don't really care.... so personally if you are not going to fucking help me, just don't bother replying back, just save your pointless jokes or unappeasable comments to another section...

Sounds like useful advice to me.

As for hyenas...they don't pay us enough to be bodyguards.

I always love people who show they don't really care by posting a big long rant - thus of course showing they do really care.

[Mully]

I don't care that you posted this, so I just thought I'd post this to tell you.

Wait. Shit.

[Katman]

Wait. Shit.

Ok. Done that. What now?

[The Stranger]

I don't care that you posted this

Who cares?

[psycho22]

Justin Bieber

Sorry but at that point I had to stop reading as I got some rather violent thoughts in my head:yes:

[phiretrojan]

yes, i had the same feeling when i typed it up i though it would trigger some people

:love::love::love::love: You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last. - yip i had to post it up, didn't want to take it out on a workmate, man i was in one fucked off mood but i'm all good, ended up kicking the crap out of kick bags at training (the ones you wrap around your arms), poor training partner, ended up 5 feet away, after i did a straight sidekick to the midsection - was told i got another compo VS Aussie, this weekend, so i'm flying out tomorrow night (WOHOOOOOOOOO) so i'll kept it all bottled tight inside. and think of the people i hate on here (kidding! wow i'm only kidding!) *wish me luck*

[wysper]

But yeah if one dickhead fails you just go to the next shop till u get a pass.



I don't think you can do that anymore can you? I thought now the whole wof system was computerised that if the first place fails you, you have to go back there for the warrant. It was to stop people just going on and on until they got a pass.

Could be wrong though.

[BuzzardNZ]

a lazy one you damn ponce.

You only have to go back to the original shop to get a free re-test, and even then you must go back within 28 days.

You can pay a new fee and go anywhere you like for a new test.

Yip, you are correct, this was in place for a good few years now, i was kidding in my post as stated in my Rant, i was bullshiting cause i like to see mad people lol, but the main reason, was just do get the fucking idiots off my back, was the biggest mistake i have learn, i'll never post any more problems or issues on here again, i'll reply to others, but never again.... you just get your fucking head bitten off, :angry: but anyways, i have more important stuff to do, than pointless chatting to a bunch of apes after a banana on here.... i have a work meeting and got to get ready to repencent NZ for my comp in Aussie.......

[Str8 Jacket]

Lay off the crack kid.

[phiretrojan]

So which is it..............13 or 15?:facepalm:

[imdying]

when you enter or do a full contact sport, you should know what you are getting yourself in, been doing martial arts just over 13-15yrs now,And you're still a whiny little bitch?! Fail.

[Mully]

So which is it..............13 or 15?:facepalm:

It's 13 minus 15.

So negative 2 years.

Well, just over negative two years.

[Pascal]

It's 13 minus 15.

So negative 2 years.

Well, just over negative two years.

Actually, and I hate being the little bitch that failed maths, but shouldn't that be a bit under negative two years? Because by tomorrow he'd come closer to actually hitting the 0 year mark?

Maybe. I dunno.

He said "Just over 13-15 years"

We can't ask him cos he made a "Goodbye Cruel KB" thread and earned himself a two week holiday.

epic thread is epic!
